Can I switch my Account between Microsoft accounts?

Hi there,

You can change the email address associated with an account, but you cannot transfer anything (purchases, achievements, etc.) from one account/tag to another.

The steps to change the email address can be found here.

You can switch email addresses between the accounts only if they are not Hotmail, Outlook or Live emails. You can NOT switch gamertags between Microsoft accounts in any way.

See here to change emails around: NOTE that you will have to change the email of the first account to something else in order to free it up for use to change to the other account:

Follow the instructions to change your Microsoft Account on your gamertag here:

Refer to the instructions on switching Microsoft Accounts between two gamertags. There is a 30 day waiting period before you can complete switch a second time on any given account.

You'll have to do a Microsoft Account transfer between your #2 hotmail/Microsoft account on your gamertag and your #1 which you signed in and posted here on. There's a 30 day period between the time you can change a Microsoft Account on any given account,
so that's your only obstacle. Full instructions here:

Switch gamertags between two Microsoft accounts

If you try to switch your Xbox LIVE gamertag to a Microsoft account that is already linked to another gamertag, you will receive a message that says “the Microsoft account (or Windows Live ID) you’re switching to is already linked to another Xbox account.”

Before you can switch your gamertag in this case, you must first remove the existing gamertag from that Microsoft account:

1.Create a new Microsoft account. You will only need this new account as a temporary means of moving your gamertags. After the gamertags have been switched, you will no longer need this Microsoft account.

Example:

Gamertag A is linked to Microsoft account 1.

Gamertag B is linked to Microsoft account 2.

To swap gamertags A and B between Microsoft accounts 1 and 2, first create a third temporary account: Microsoft account 3.

2.Switch the gamertag that is linked to the Microsoft account you want to use to the new temporary account you have just created.

Example:

Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 1.

Switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 3.

Microsoft account 2 is now free.

3.Now switch your gamertag to the Microsoft account you want to use.

Example:

Switch gamertag A to Microsoft account 2.

Gamertag B remains linked to Microsoft account 3.

Microsoft account 1 is now free.

4.To complete the swap of gamertags between the two original Microsoft accounts, you must wait 30 days. (A gamertag can be switched only once every 30 days.)

Example:

Gamertag A remains linked to Microsoft account 2.

After 30 days, switch gamertag B to Microsoft account 1.

Microsoft account 3 is now free and no longer needed.

Hope this helps!
